Real Techniques Duo Fiber Collection Limited Edition

Well Hello Ladies,

This is just a quick post on my first impression on these limited edition brushes by real techniques. These brushes have duo fibres in them, 'to create a light yet build-able coverage'. They are available in selected boots stores across the UK for £23.99 but I was way to inpatient and ordered mine off IHerb for £16.49 including P&P, which I think is great! They was also delivered within 4 days, so if like me you cant wait I would definitely recommend ordering off iherb.com. At first touch I can say they are all very soft and fluffy, and in my opinion are more for everyday light coverage which is great for me as I was on the hunt for everyday brushes.


Three brushes come in the duo fibre collection, the first being the duo fibre face brush this can be used for a light dusting of face powders, or a natural flush of blush on the cheeks. This is a nice switch up from the larger powder brush real techniques which is rather dense and packs on a lot of powder. The duo fibre contour brush is very similar to the contour brush in the Core collection however the fact that is duo fibre allows for easier blending, this is my go to contour brush for everyday looks when I want a heavier contour I lean more to the contour brush from the core collection. The last brush is the duo fibre eye brush, and this is perfect for blending which seems to have been missing before from the real technique eye brush collection before but alas it is here!!! 



I have only used these brushes a couple of times so I haven't fully put them to the test yet, but when I have used them more I will post a full review on them, although I think its safe to say it will be a positive one as I am loving them!!! 

Have you tried these new brushes? let me know what you think :)

Drugstore/Superdrug Haul ft Bourjois cream blush ♥

Hello Ladies!!!

Well well well...



So today I did some damage in Superdrug, if your not from the UK Superdrug is basically a British drugstore. They had a lovely 3 for 2 offer on and I just had to take advantage of it, so I picked up a few things I had seen on the blogosphere.

Left to right: Exxxaggerate, Mystic, Heartbreaker, Papaya Punch.

As you can see I went a bit lipstick mad, but I just love Sleek lipsticks!! Earlier this year they brought out some new colours and I wanted to try them out. Sleek tend to have some pretty funky colours and for £4.99 its a good way to experiment with more exciting colours before indulging in the likes of Mac or YSL. 



I thought I'd get some things from Bourjois, I never used to pay that much attention to Bourjois but after hearing rave reviews about their products I started to try some things and I must say they are slowly becoming my favourite drugstore brand. I got the Delice de poudre bronzing powder to contour with. I usually use my Sleek contour kit but I find that its a little too dark for everyday contouring so I got the lightest shade in 51. I also picked up the Queen Attitude Khol Kajal as I actually don't own a black khol eyeliner. 




Next I picked up the highlighting pen from collections as I have heard essiebutton talk about this and wanted to give it a go as I have never tried a highlighting pen before. I love my Maybelline  colour tattoos, I think they are amazing as either an eye shadow base or on their own and they are the easiest thing to apply in the world! I also picked up one of the new Barry M sequin effect nail polishes in snp1, it reminds me of ice cream and summer I will be applying this to nails tonight. Lastly I picked up one of the new Bourjois cream blushes, I got the shade sweet cherry 04 it is said to give healthy glow and enhance all complexions. I will be putting this claim to the test in the next week or so, if you would like a full review on these cream blushes let me know. 



Hope you liked my little haul post : )
